Rodney Court

Rodney Court stands as a senior living community for adults 62 years and older, and folks who want to live as independently as they can while surrounded by a bit of history might like the old charm here since the building's on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, and it's called Rodney Court Co-operative. The six-story L-shaped steel frame structure is covered in light-colored tapestry bricks with classical design pieces and a fancy old-style parapet across the top, so you're looking at a building that's been around a while and still keeps its character. Inside, there are spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments, and every apartment's got hardwood flooring, large closets, modern kitchens with new appliances-things like a refrigerator, dishwasher, and air conditioning-and plenty of light from big windows, and you'll find energy-efficient touches throughout too. Some units even have built-in shelves, crown molding, and views of nearby parks. Folks needing help with getting dressed, bathing, taking medicine, or other daily activities can find assistance here, and there's medication management plus personal care offered as needed, so individual needs can be met day by day, and respite care helps if someone's caregiver just needs a break for a little while. Rodney Court allows cats, which can make someone feel more at home, and the community makes things easier with a laundry facility right in the building. Getting around's not hard, because elevators serve every floor, and wheelchair accessible rooms and showers mean more folks can move about easily. There's a controlled entry system for privacy and security, along with onsite management and maintenance so help's close if something needs fixing. Social spaces like a community lounge, game room, and a large social hall-there was a rooftop dance floor and garden once-give folks a place to gather if they want, and a fitness center helps with staying active. Outside and inside, there are common areas to chat or play cards, and there's public transportation access plus parking for residents and visitors. Rodney Court offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, and other services such as home care for those who wish to remain in their apartments with trained aides. The apartments are affordable rentals for seniors, and the building tries to keep things simple without a lot of fuss, making it a quiet, sturdy place to make a home in later years.
